Mancat Monday--Disco's Diet

Ok...while Disco's still stuck on that Plateau, we got a purrsonal phone call from the folks at Young Again, with some suggestions on getting Disco over that Hump!

While we are still eating Young Again Zero Carb, we also eat some canned food--Instinctive and Fancy Feast Classic style (no veggies, no wheat gluten) and an occasional can of something else--Paul Newman's, Avoderm, Halo etc. And a little bit of raw RadCat, too.

Teri steered away from anything with fruits or veggie's in them, to avoid the carbs, but Jen at Young Again explained that wasn't the whole picture! She had Teri read off the protein and fat content on the varieties we had on the shelf...

She said, that could explain why Disco is STUCK! She said to stick with canned foods that have a protein to fat ratio of 2:1, because if it's less than that...guess what? The missing %age is...carbs! For example, pick canned foods that have 12% protein and 6% fat.

Here's a link to a easy to understand explanation and a way to calculate the carbs in canned cat food:How to read a Cat Food Label and guess what...some of the canned foods we were eating were 18% carbs! We had some stuff on the shelf that was 8% protein and 2% fat! This education thing is kinda hard, but Teri's learning!

Teri learned something, and then read some more, and now she thinks Disco can Jump That Hump!

Truffle's digestive system got much better when Mom Paula switched her from the Fancy Feast to Wellness. We now eat Wellness, Avoderm, Weruva, and Merrick. We're both doing great with the better quality food.

About Us Cats...

.....We cats of Curlz and Swirlz are both Curly and Swirly! Furrydance Cattery was named after a spring fertility festival that has been held in Cornwall since the 1400's. Dancing fur is a good way to describe a Cornish Rex's wavy fur, as well. And while the cats don't dance, they certainly are the ballerinas and sprinters of the cat world.

.....The cats that reside at Curlz and Swirlz are all Cornish Rex except for one silly Sphynx named Disco NoFurNo.

.....Curly Swirly Cats Favorite Things: We like visitors; waking up and then going back to bed; chicken baby food; drinking from the bathroom faucets; trying out new, fuzzy blankies.
